Thanks for the ID Nick.
Not sure of your source for the sub-species though as there are a large number of subspecies listed for different parts of the region but some websites are now listing the subspecies as being the same for all countries in the region which may not be the case.
Subspecies emalea is not even listed in the Natural History Museums Catalogue which is considered the most reliable taxanomic source.
My belief is that a lot of internet sites are now incorrectly quoting the nominate species name as a subspecies name.
